Find the right office for the question

Property-tax payments, recorded deeds, and court records are different jobs, with different contacts. For a City permit or code concern, first check whether the property is inside Missoula city limits. The City lists neighborhoods such as Northside/Westside and the University District; use an address-level check for a specific parcel.

Local records and offices

Missoula and Missoula County resources: what each one does

Bring the property address and the notice or document in front of you when you call. County office details below were checked against official pages on October 7, 2026; confirm current hours and service availability before visiting.

Missoula County District Court — Clerk of District Court

Montana state District Court · Missoula County courthouse records, including probate

The Clerk of District Court is the local contact for District Court records, including probate records. For a judgment or order, check which court is named on the paperwork; this clerk is the route for a Missoula County District Court case, not for deeds or property-tax payments.

(406) 258-4780 · Missoula County Courthouse, second floor, 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802.

City of Missoula Development Services

City of Missoula · city permit and inspection routing

For a property inside Missoula city limits, use Development Services for City permit and inspection questions. Confirm the parcel’s city-limit status by address; a Missoula mailing address alone does not establish which building office serves it.

Missoula County Building Permits & Inspections

Missoula County · structures outside Missoula city limits

The County Building Division handles structures outside Missoula city limits. Check the exact parcel boundary before choosing between the City and County building offices.

City of Missoula Code Compliance

City of Missoula · City ordinance complaints and code concerns

Use the City route for a code concern at a property inside city limits. The City says it does not conduct active compliance searches, so if you already have a notice, check its address and deadline with the office that issued it.

A Montana sale rule

Montana has no real-estate transfer tax, but a certificate still goes with the deed

Montana does not impose a state, county, or city tax on the sale or transfer of real property. When the deed is recorded, a realty transfer certificate must be filed with the County Clerk and Recorder at the same time. Montana Revenue uses the certificate to update ownership records and gather sale information for property appraisals.

The certificate asks whether water rights transfer with the property. If the house has a separate water right, tell the title or closing professional so the state water-right ownership record can be updated too. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Missoula and Missoula County resource questions

Which office handles a Missoula County property-tax balance or delinquent tax?

Contact the Missoula County Treasurer / Clerk & Treasurer at (406) 258-4747 for property-tax payment and delinquent-tax information. This is separate from deed records at the Clerk & Recorder and court records at District Court.

Where do I look for a deed or recorded land document?

Use the Missoula County Clerk & Recorder’s Property Records & Deeds resources, or call the property-inquiry line at (406) 258-4752. A recorded deed is not a property-tax balance or a court judgment.

Where should I ask about probate records or a court judgment?

The Missoula County District Court Clerk is the local contact for District Court records, including probate; call (406) 258-4780. For a judgment or order, use the court named on the paperwork and ask that court about its case record. The court is a Montana state court, not a County tax office.

Which building office handles a Missoula property?

City Development Services handles City permit and inspection routing for properties inside Missoula city limits. Missoula County Building Permits & Inspections covers structures outside the City. Check the parcel’s actual boundary rather than relying only on its mailing address.

Does Montana charge a tax when I sell my house?

Montana has no state, county, or city tax on the sale or transfer of real property. The deed still needs a realty transfer certificate filed with the County Clerk and Recorder when it is recorded. The certificate asks about water rights, so raise any separate water-right question with the title or closing professional.

Can I sell my Missoula house as-is?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Send the property address through the form or call us to discuss a written cash offer.
